Al-Awar added: "IHRC has already attracted top speakers and world class organisations, emphasising the event as an ideal platform to share experiences and evolve solutions to key HR challenges in the region and worldwide. We aim to make this event a brainstorming on regional and international HR issues that are critical in our long-term strategy for comprehensive economic development.”

Supporting the event is part of ENOC’s strategy to connect with other economic sectors at the local and international levels. It is also a perfect fit with our commitment to invest in developing human resources as directed by our leadership and the UAE vision 2021”.

IHRC 2011 will bring together experts and thought leaders worldwide to discuss effective mobilisation and management of knowledge, skills and manpower across sectors and disciplines under the theme “Human Resources: the Sustainable Capital for the New Era.” The conference will highlight the most relevant human capital development issues in the present global economic context, to provide governments and professionals with insights into designing sustainable HR strategies and policies.

The conference and exhibition follow the directives of the UAE leadership to focus on human capital as the most productive investment in achieving comprehensive and sustainable development.

IHRC 2011 also aims to position the UAE as a strategic hub for HR development across the region and worldwide, through creating an annual platform for the leadership and experts to debate sustainable HR development.
